But Assistant Judge Jia suddenly pointed at Chen Mao and said: "Chen, you're the son of the Xi Family's Protector, your words can't be trusted!"
Chen Mao was indeed the son of the Xi Family's Protector, and after following Magistrate Xi into office, he was arranged to work in the government office as a Government Official. Though he hadn't caused any trouble these years, he was Magistrate Xi's confidant and ear.
Because of this, Chen Mao became the target of attack.
Hu Xueyao immediately cried out upon hearing this: "Oh, and now you say you're not colluding to harm my Old Master? Letting the son of a household servant testify, saying all against my Old Master, such malicious hearts, you just want to kill my Old Master, don't you?!"
The people gathered at the government gate heard this and began to discuss again: "This, isn't this person a Government Official? How did he become a servant of the Lord Magistrate?"
